Ecological Labs MLXSAQ Microbe-Lift SA Liquid Sludge Away - 1 Quart
Product Description
Manufacture part number: MLXSAQ
Years in development, Microbe-Lift Sludge-Away speeds the biological removal of slow-to-degrade organic waste matter from aquatic pond bottoms that may become toxic to fish and plant life. As organic solids accumulate on the pond bottom, they begin to break down releasing toxic gasses to the surrounding environment. These gaseous by-products endanger fish, marine life and plants. Microbe-Lift Sludge-Away removes bottom organic sludge and muck-reducing or eliminating the potential harmful gaseous compounds-and helps clarify your pond water at the same time.
Especially Helpful for Ponds that have a Rock or Gravel Bottom or Where Vacuuming is Impractical
Microbe-Lift Sludge-Away may slightly discolor pond water for a short while. Rocks along the edge may darken but will return to their natural color.
Microbe-Lift Sludge-Away will accelerate the solubilization and biological digestion of organic solids in your pond. As a result of this increased oxygen demand, the Oxygen Uptake Rate (OUR) in your pond will increase in the process, along with your aquatic life's need for oxygen.
1 oz per 100 gallons of pond water.

I have used lots of pond bacteria products the last 15 years, and none have worked better than this one in keeping my pond clear. Good buy.

I have been using this product for about two years from a recommendation from my brother. Follow the directions, and it will help keep your water from getting murky. If it looks like the water is clouding up, just use a little more.

I have used this product for the last few months and expected my pond to clear substantially. It has cleared some, but definitely not the dramatic results promised on the bottle. We have however, had a lot of rain this year and that certainly works against me. If I feel differently later, I will update this review.

Use in the spring to help clean sludge from bottom of fish pond. Have well water and do not have luxury of unlimited water to use water hose type vacuum to clean the pond bottom. This is a natural product and performs as advertised.

Good product but expensive considering it is in daily use. Others similar does not work well for Florida weather. That's my experience.
